Lady's Choice: Ethel Waxham's Journals and Letters, 1905-1910 Book

I first read parts of John Love's and Ethel Waxham's letters in John McPhee's Rising from the Plains, a book about Wyoming's Rocky Mountain geology. After piquing my interest, I bought the present book and could not help feeling connected to Ethel through her many letters to and from John Love, and from a wide array of friends that she made at Wellesley College and from teaching. A very interesting read if you are interested in the West, social and cultural conventions at the turn of the 20th century, or just to read practiced and elegant journal and letter writing; a lost art for sure.
